Hey I'm trying to get the look of graphite without having to invest the time. The eye is watercolor on synthetic paper (yupo) 9x12 and the cat is a mixture of acrylic ink and watercolor on yupo. She is our cat at a little large than life size. It looks better irl, i'm getting a lot of glare. I learned ill never combine the watercolor and acrylic again because of the differences in sheen. I'm trying to spray coat then varnish reduce glare and even out the finish. I don't think anything can rival graphite but it's so time consuming. The cat took almost 5 hours but would take 30 hours with pencils It was a good experiment at least so will know what not to do next time.
